The Meet-Cute: Jordan and Jackie met in July of 2024 at their mutual friends’ joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend. Both indexing high on the “warm and genuine” scale, these two found an easy connection from the start. Between rounds of wit, sarcasm, and high-level banter, they made a verbal agreement to go on a date once they returned to reality. The Cancellation Heard 'round the World: Back in real life, Jordan sent a formal text (with his best digital penmanship) to pencil in their date for the following Sunday. Early Thursday morning, however, Jackie sent a "very, very kind" text calling the whole thing off. In Jordan’s version of the story, the message essentially read: "Getting to know you would be a complete waste of my time." The Reunion: A few months later, they found themselves at their friends’ wedding (and conveniently dressed to the nines). Whether it was the romantic atmosphere or just better timing, the sarcasm clicked once more. They finally scheduled that date… and this time, nobody cancelled. As it turns out, getting to know each other wasn't a waste of time after all. It was just the beginning!
